3. Marshmallows are made with gelatin usually from pig skin...

I was sort of heartbroken when I found that out. But, I had already decided to give up table sugar at that point so it was a moot point. I still slip up on the sugar thing sometimes, but I can't do the marshmallow thing, myself. I don't think people are horrible though if they say they are vegan and have non vegan/vegetarian things once in a while. It is a very hard world to live in if you don't have any leeway. There are so many things besides food made from animal products and byproducts, just read that beer might be one of them. I don't drink beer so I don't have to worry about that, but I do know vegans/vegetarians that do. I don't know if they know that beer is processed with a fish byproduct or not.

We do need better labeling though so people can make informed choices. I would like table sugar labeled myself. Some isn't processed using animal bones for bleaching, so a vegan if they wanted sugar could get that. Many people don't know gelatin is made from animal sources. I didn't know about vaccines myself. It's a pretty long list, but spelling things out would be good so people can make choices that make sense to them. Plus allergies and sensitivities, it would help people identify triggers faster I think.
